You're like a paper lantern
I let go too quickly
As I watched you fly higher and higher
Night falls upon us slowly
You whisper behind me
"Please forget those unpleasant memories"
Oh
Don't disappear now
This wind
Is gone without a sound
Silence pierces through me
I reach out for your face
Shards of time scatter all around me
Fireworks blossom skyward
The festival is over
How fleeting is this life we live
Oh
Seconds to turn hours
Oh
You're gone without a sound
And I know
I have to let you go
You're like a paper lantern
